T0 ALL WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JONAl-I L. REES, of Peoria, in the county of Peoria, and State of Illinois, have invented an Improvement for Obviating the Irregular Motion of Steam-Power upon Mill-Gearing and Preventing the usual Cuttingr and Noise of heavy iron Cog-Wheels; und I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, viz:

Figure I represents an oblique view. A is n bevel cog-wheel on upright shaft B, supported, (as seen in 5g. 3,) bycollar C. D represents a east-iron hub resting,` on bevel-wheel A, keyed to shaft R, with armsE extending downbetiveen the arms F of the bevel-wheel A. G is :t round rubber ear-spring, one end Secured in socket H on the end of arm E, pressed against .firm F by adjusting-bolt I, screwed into end of arm E, and head against other arm F, `with tightening-tap L. i

Figure 2 represents a perpendiular view.

Figure 3 represents a sectional view of bevel-wheel A A, hub D D, shaft B, arms E E, socket H and collar C.

Figure 4 represent-s a perpendicular view of hub D, arms E, sockets H, and springs G.

Construction. y

Take the main gearing-wheel A (bevel or otherwise) ot' any mill and support it movably on shaft B by collar C. Upon this shaft B,Yand above the Wheel A, is keyed the hub D, with same number of arms E as cog-wheel A projecting ,down between the arms Foi` cog-wheel A. On one side of the end of the armEis formed a socket, H, for the reception of one end of rubber spring G. The other side is arranged to secure the adjusting-bolt I with its tighteninglt-ap L.

What I cla-i111 as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The hub D, with its arms E, rubber spring G, adjusting-bolt I, and tightening-tap L, orltheir equivalent, in connection with the arms F of bevel-wheel A, working in the manner and for the purpose specified.
